TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Your company could set up an external WIKI server and
place your help documentation (html) there. Just give
the URL to your end users and they can modify the data
(using html) however they like. One caveat - if an end
user adds incorrect data, all the end users are
affected, because changes are global as opposed to
local. We used (in a previous job) a SWIKI server for
our in-house knowledge base and it worked just fine.
You will probably need an in-house administrator as
well.

Is it possible to create a help system where the end
user can add thier own notes into the help system?
If so, then how is this possible?
